1.
- fenestrated capillary endothelium
- negatively charged non-cellular basement membrane
- single-celled epithelial lining of Bowman's Capsule (podocytes and slit diaphragm): What are the three layers of the glomerular filtration barrier?
2.
(urine flow rate x concentration of substance)/(plasma concentration of that substance): GFR =
(using clearance tests)
3.
10: What percentage of water is reabsorbed in the descending limb of the loop of Henle?
4.
65: PCT absorbes ___% of H2O and Na+
5.
ADH: What do the late distal tubule and collecting duct depend on for reabsorption of water?
6.
constriction, decrease: Increased afferent arteriolar resistance --> _________ of glomerular capillary --> ________ in GFR
7.
Decreased: Is glomerular capillary oncotic pressure inreased or decreased by liver disease?
8.
Decreased (because glomerular capillary oncotic pressure is increased, and the equation is: NFP=glomerular capillary pressure - Bowman's Space pressure - glomerular capillary oncotic pressure): Is NFP/GFR increased or decreased by dehydration?
9.
dilation, increase: Increased efferent arteriolar resistance --> _________ of glomerular capillary --> ________ in GFR
10.
dilation, increase: Increased arterial pressure --> _______ of the glomerular capillary --> ________ in GFR
